We also promote inclusion in the community by providing trainings for churches, businesses, and organizations to assimilate these families into their visions. As we grow our roots deeper into the northeast region of Florida, we will also provide opportunities for families to participate in varied activities including sensory friendly activities, sibling groups, and after-school care. ATFC is a volunteer-driven organization. We envision individuals and families impacted by disability being accepted and supported in their local communities, feeling included in their neighborhoods, schools, workplaces, and churches. Fulfilling our vision involves people who are compassionate and willing to give of their time and serve on a team. It also involves those willing to give of their resources.
